Lando Calrissian is pansexual, ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ writer says

A major character in the "Star Wars" universe is pansexual, a writer for the franchise's latest movie said.

Jonathan Kasdan, who penned "Solo: A Star Wars Story" alongside his father Lawrence, spoke about the sexual fluidity of Lando Calrissian, who is portrayed in the new flick by Donald Glover after being immortalized by Billy Dee Williams nearly four decades ago.

"I would say yes," Kasdan told Huffpost when asked if Lando is pansexual, which means not being limited in sexual preference.

"There's a fluidity to Donald and Billy Dee's (portrayal of Lando's) sexuality," Kasdan told Huffpost. "I mean, I would have loved to have gotten a more explicitly LGBT character into this movie. I think it's time, certainly, for that, and I love the fluidity — sort of the spectrum of sexuality that Donald appeals to and that droids are a part of."

Lando, who was first introduced in "The Empire Strikes Back" in 1980, is portrayed by Williams as an incessantly charming individual who flirts with Princess Leia after she arrives in Cloud City with his old buddy, Han Solo.

But the character's sexuality is never defined — which remains the case in "Solo" with Glover's portrayal.

"He doesn't make any hard and fast rules. I think it's fun," Kasdan, 38, said. "I don't know where it will go."

The addition of an LGBT character to the "Star Wars" movies is something many fans have long asked for.

After "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" premiered in 2015, many fans expressed that they'd like to see Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac) — two characters with very close chemistry — end up together.

There's a scene in "Solo," meanwhile, where a new droid named L3-37 jokes that Han (Alden Ehrenreich) and Lando seem to be flirting. Lawrence Kasdan, who also wrote "The Empire Strikes Back," wouldn't go into details about the potential significance of that line.

Glover, 34, recently opened up about his portrayal of Lando during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" He said he initially came up with a number of potential backstories for the classic character, but when he met with Williams and ran some of them by him, Williams simplified his approach to playing Lando.
